Guat Stuff By Russ

I went on a mission for the Mormon church A different way of life for a boy to enter It wasn't long after my 19th birthday When I spent 2 months in the training center Then I spent 22 months in Guatemala Where I had to get used to the cultures Instead of hamburgers and eagles It was black beans and vultures On the back of one of the first envelopes Of a letter I sent home to be read I wrote the first of what would be many poems That came off the top of my head I didn't start it thinking I'd always do it But I ended up putting a poem in every letter I made sure to try to make each one funny As my wittiness and creativity got better
